            We got an opportunity to see this play live. This is a 2016 Gujarati play based on the relationship between Jain philosopher Shrimad Rajchandra and Indian independence leader Mahatma Gandhi. The play depicts the spiritual journey of Gandhi. It is written by Uttam Gada and directed by Rajesh Joshi.(wikipedia)

        If we see it as per theoratrical  view , it is great piece of art as there was very good arrangement of setting for different situations and scenes and it change very smoothly without ant disturbunce. But as themetically we see it grows from Inspiration to Vyakti pooja as Godly figure. It is good that we inspire deeply from someone and follow his path to live better life  but when it turn into worshiping, it's not good for society. Sprituality turns into Religion. 

    It shows the strong relation between two person. Rajchandra was shown here as a multitasker   who can do many things together , there is test of him taken by people , is shown on stage. So, to see drama  live it's very aesthetic experience for audience than screen. Whole paly is only praising the 
Rajchandra but there is also fault or weakness in every man even in great man also. So, there is no real presentation of personality, it's only one side of coin is shown here.
